After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Knicks 98-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
